Birthday Bash... Mini Treat Bags

These are the cute treat bags that we made for everyone that attended our One Day Retreat and Fundraiser to benefit St. Mary School and Nativity of the Lord Parish last month!!

Each person that attended the One Day Retreat received a package of the Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper, along with the coordinating Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim and the Gold Basic Metal Buttons.

I slipped the package of Gold Basic Metal Buttons into each of these cute, little treat bags -

they fit perfectly!!

Birthday Bash Specialty Designer Series Paper 137783 $12.95

Gold Basic Metal Buttons 133763 $7.95

The treat bags were made using our new Mini Treat Bags Thinlits Dies. I put the treat bags together with our Fast Fuse Adhesive - it's the perfect strength adhesive for a project like this! It's considerably stronger than our Snail Adhesive, so it's great for 3D projects like this.

Mini Treat Bags Thinlits Dies 137547 $39.95

Fast Fuse Adhesive 129026 $9.95

I stamped "for you" (in Bermuda Bay ink) from the Hello There Hostess Stamp Set and punched this piece out with the 1 3/8" Circle Punch, then stamped it again and punched this piece out with the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch. The "for you" is popped up on Dimensionals to give it some depth.

This circle piece is layered on top of a Crushed Curry Banner die-cut with our Banner Framelits.

Unfortunately, the Calypso Coral PomPon Trim is no longer available, so I won't go on about how cute it is! This is what Stampin' Up! posted to our demo sight the other day:

"Due to issues with the material supplier (they have not been able to
provide the manufacturer with the needed materials), combined with the
ongoing west coast port congestion issues, the Calypso Coral Pompom Trim
from the 2015 occasions catalog (p. 12; item 137898) will not be
available before the catalog sales period ends. Unfortunately, this
means that this product will no longer be available for purchase."

I bet they'll come up with something just as cute down the road, so don't worry!!

Hello There Hostess Stamp Set wood-mount 133919 $12.00 Hostess

Hello There Hostess Stamp Set clear-mount 133922 $9.00 Hostess

Banner Framelits 132173 $26.95

I hope you enjoyed these cute treat bags, and.... I hope you have an Inkspired day!!
